ICON Vehicle Dynamics Shock Absorber Shaft Seal Installation Tool

Shipping: ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground. Lead times vary by part and some items are built to order, so please allow extra time. We email tracking as soon as your order ships.

Seal Damage Is the Leading Cause of Rebuild Failures

Forcing a seal onto a shock shaft by hand or with a makeshift driver risks nicking or rolling the seal lip, which leads to oil weeping and a shortened service life. The ICON Seal Install Tool provides a controlled, even seating surface that guides the seal squarely onto the shaft, reducing the chance of a misaligned or pinched seal lip. A clean seal installation at rebuild time means the shock holds its oil charge and performs as intended through its next service interval.

Built for Repeated Shop Use

The tool's construction is rated for years of professional shop use, making it a practical addition to any shop that services ICON shocks on a regular basis rather than a single-use workaround. Having the correct installation tool on hand shortens rebuild time and removes a common point of uncertainty when returning a shock to service.

Who This Is For and Isn't

This tool is for technicians and enthusiasts who rebuild or service ICON shock absorbers with 7/8-inch diameter or larger shafts, whether for routine maintenance or a complete shock rebuild.

This tool is not a shock absorber, rebuild kit, or seal kit; seals and rebuild components are sold separately. It is compatible with ICON shock absorbers using 7/8-inch diameter and larger shafts only; compatibility with smaller-diameter shafts or with shock absorbers from other brands is not established.

Common Questions

What does this tool actually do during a shock rebuild?

The ICON Shock Absorber Shaft Seal Installation Tool provides a guided seating surface that presses wiper and oil seals squarely onto the shock shaft. This controlled installation reduces the risk of rolling or nicking the seal lip (a common cause of post-rebuild oil leaks) compared to improvised installation methods.

Which ICON shock shafts is this tool compatible with?

The ICON Seal Install Tool is compatible with ICON shock absorbers that use 7/8-inch diameter and larger shafts. Compatibility with shafts smaller than 7/8 inch is not established; confirm shaft diameter before ordering.

Does this tool come with seals or a rebuild kit?

No. The ICON Shock Absorber Shaft Seal Installation Tool is the installation tool only. Wiper seals, oil seals, and any other rebuild components are sold separately and are not included with this tool.

Is this tool intended for one-time use or repeated shop use?

The ICON Seal Install Tool is built for repeated professional shop use, not single-use. Its durable construction is designed to hold up through multiple shock rebuilds over the course of years of regular service work.
